Such a great combination, this cake. I am always into raspberries and chocolate together - they are like ebony & ivory, like yin & yang, like Spongebob & Patrick. They are almost magnetically attracted to each other. And it is not difficult to see (or taste) why!
Each layer of cake gets brushed with pure, sweet raspberry compote. Pair that together with a chocolate cake made from 76% West African cocoa, and abracadabra!, some kind of CAKE MAGIC takes place! Us pastry chefs love it when this happens, it is one of the reasons that make us get out of bed each morning.
The whole cake gets covered in beautiful, pink raspberry buttercream. No artificial colours or flavours are ever used in our cakes, so all flavours are the real deal.
